This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, with approval ratings for Republicans and Democrats alike in the gutter in Colorado and across the country, Democrats have one ally in the fight to bring their numbers back up...and you’ll never guess who it is. Then, we’ve got great news! Wait, sorry, we mean, we’ve got terrible news! The constitutional crisis is here; it’s obvious, it’s permeating everything, and we’re just as freaked out about it as you are.

Kevin Ingham of Aspect Strategic joins us to talk about CPI’s latest poll, and some of the results may surprise you.
